Sad Day For Owner

[Cseybert]

In front of Tractor Supply about an hour ago. Spoke to the gentleman that owned the truck and he said he was sitting in the truck with only the accessories on when smoke started coming in from the dash. He jumped out, opened the hood and flames started shooting out. Probably a total loss. 2019 Limited with only 38,000 miles.

or a very good day, depending on how you look at it.

I don’t believe he was looking at it as a good day it’s his work vehicle.

A good reminder why you should keep a fire extinguisher in your truck. On the bright side, he won't have to worry about his CP4 anymore.

That’s for sure that whole side of the truck was burnt to a crisp.

Yea once it starts on fire you don’t want that truck anymore.

Glad everyone is safe.

Given the status of the CP4 pumps even If I had a fire extinguisher I probably would have thrown it in the woods and played dumb..

Yeah but the fronts going through your head when it’s burning.

We will never know but real curious what started it? Looks like it's mostly on the driver side which is interesting. Most diesel engine fires I have seen have been from oil or trans fluid getting on the hot exhaust or turbo but that's on the other side.

The owner talked about it, he belongs to a certain forum. I don’t know which one and that heard about it.

Call me dense, but I have no idea what you mean?

He said it started on some electrical panel?

I meant to say thoughts going through your head story.

 

[Squatch]

I would probably be thinking...I’m going to get cancer breathing this stuff in, wonder how long before the fire department gets here? That fire truck sounds like it has a Cummins...should I buy a fire truck? Can you lift a fire truck?

 

[Cseybert]

As I was looking at the truck after the firefighters put it out the main part of the burn was where the fuse boxes on the exterior we’re located. The owner said when he popped the hood the fire immediately came from a wiring harness and fuse box location. I’m looking at my truck and understand what are you talking about. Hopefully it doesn’t have to do with any of the ad on features for the limited such as power steps. I know on my truck that’s where you plug the power steps into.

I wonder it this was a truck for the turbo fire recall. if he just shut it down, the tranny could have burped fluid and started from there.

RFE dipstick is on the right side, though, right?
